More Info

Drawing upon the master craft-making techniques that have been a part of their culture for generations, our artisans skillfully handcraft these beautiful pieces individually, combining contemporary designs with ancient traditions. In Guatemala, we work with over 125 artisans, many of whom can trace back their craft to 1970's, but in the last decade, the craft has taken a fantastic turn and different and innovative color combinations and designs are being developed. In Thailand, we work with about 25 artisans, mostly of Hmong heritage located outside Chiang Mai, Thailand. This village industry provides families an opportunity to maintain the tradition of handcrafting while sharing an expression of their indigenous culture with the world. By respecting cultural tradition, creating a cooperative working atmosphere, and paying sustainable wages, these women and their families have become empowered with new skills and have an opportunity for economic stability.

If there are quality issues, we may request to see a photo of the product, so we can share this feedback with our artisans and prevent this issue from arising in the future.

Can I make a return?
Please contact us within 10 days of receipt of the item(s) to let us know of the damage or defect. We will work with you in order to provide a replacement or refund/credit for the product. Products must be returned in their original condition with product tag and without retail price stickers. For returns related to damaged or defective items, we will incur shipping costs for domestic customers. Any shipping costs on returns made for other reasons will be at the expense of the customer.

Do you take custom orders?
At this time, we do not take custom orders.

What are my payment options?
We accept Visa/Master Cards and checks. Checks will be made payable to: Lumily.

How much is shipping?
We ship UPS Ground, which is priced by weight. This is typically between 5%-10% of your order total. For smaller shipments, USPS is sometimes used.

Do you ship International?
Yes! For shipping to Canada, standard shipping is UPS Ground. Shipping charges are typically 10%-15% of your order total, but is dependent on weight and size of the order. UPS does door delivery but if there is a customs duty involved, you are responsible for paying UPS the duty when the package is delivered.

For international shipping (other than Canada) we use either FedEx or USPS, whichever is more time- and cost-efficient. Shipping costs largely vary depending on weight and destination, and smaller orders tend to have proportionally higher shipping costs. For example, for a $250 order with a diverse mix of products, shipping is generally 30%-40% of the order total, while varied orders over $500 generally have shipping charges that are 15%-25% of the order total. The customer is again responsible for any additional customs or duties. We can of course give you an exact shipping quote before sending your order.

When will my package be delivered?
Generally, orders within the continental United States will be received between 7 and 10 days after being placed. It takes 2-3 business days to process an order and between 1 and 4 days for shipping, depending on your location. If you have an urgent deadline, please make note of it when you order or give us a call. Note: for trade show orders, a longer lead time may apply due to product development.

What is your back-order policy?
Most of our products are in stock in our warehouse in San Diego, CA. Back-orders ship approximately 4 to 6 weeks after placing the order. If we are temporarily out of stock on any item, it will automatically be scheduled to ship when the item becomes available. Shipping charges will not exceed 10% of the value of your back-order. You may also choose to wait for all the items to be in stock so your order may ship complete. If you request to ship complete, your order will not ship until all products are available.
